Research Interests

  • The cosmic microwave background radiation, especially its angular distribution (see publications 9, 26, 31, 42, 50, 64, 74, 75, 101 and 121 below) and its spectrum (see 13 and 53 below).
  • Galaxy formation and the physical properties of newly-formed and starburst galaxies (see 7, 29, 65, 67, 73, 114 and 130 below.)
  • Cosmology, especially the question of the present mass and luminosity density of the Universe and star formation history (see 10, 23, 33, 43, 71 and 141 below) and radio source counts (see 50, 60, 67, 102, 117, 130 and 147 below).
  • In the past, I've also worked on optical pumping in gasses, pulsar timing, the interstellar medium and short time-scale phenomena in astronomy (e.g., searches for microwave pulses associated either with gravitational wave events or with supernovae).

Funding

Current support

NSF AST 00-71192,"RUI: Radio Wavelength Studies of Early and Large Structures)" ($213,000), 2000-03
NSF DUE 99-52353, "Systemic Reform in Introductory Astronomy" ($40,000), 2000-03.

In the past, I have had NSF support continuously since 1976, and grants from NATO, the Dudley Observatory, the AAAS, and NASA
(HST Cycle 7).

Observing time

In addition to numerous runs at the Very Large Array and (former) 11-meter telescope, I have made radio observations at Green Bank and the Argentine Radio Astronomy Institute, and optical observations at Kitt Peak (0.9 and 1.3 meter telescopes), Lick Observatory, the Wyoming Infrared Observatory, NASA's Infrared telescope and the Hubble Space Telescope.

Teaching experience

In addition to advanced astronomy courses, I have taught physics courses at all levels here and at Princeton. I also enjoy teaching technical subjects to non-specialists; roughly 20% of the Haverford student body takes one of the two astronomy survey courses I offer. Some years ago, I taught in Haverford's Freshman Seminar program, a writing-intensive seminar course for entering students.

I try to involve juniors and seniors in research; more than 20 of my papers have student co-authors.
